Plugin upgrade Failed in WordPress Using IIS 7

I found this online at http://www.whitworth.org/2009/03/10/plugin-upgrade-failed-in-wordpress-using-iis-7/ . I wanted to post it here so I could find it when I needed it.

I have modified it a bit.

How to modify IIS7 to allow WordPress to allow automatic updates:

Make sure your Application Pool identity is a user account (not Network Service). This only needs to be a Domain User. Go to Application Pools under the Server in the IIS Manager and change the identity to this user. I have used the same user for multiple sites.
